Yeah, I set the computer/gaming room based on where I had the easiest wire networking access in my house. Everything else spreads out from there. Wireless is fine for your phone or tablet, but I've tried to get wired network runs out to where the TVs are and the like.

I also prefer the security barrier wiring provides: My wireless network is a completely separate firewall zone than my wired one.

I know people who have to have everything wireless. Little do they realize that all that extra radiation is probably slowly killing them. On top of that is the security risk of having personal data leaking out of your room to whomever decides to eavesdrop on the signal (A threat model which becomes clearer when you see how easy it is to collect signal leak)

> Little do they realize that all that extra radiation is probably slowly killing them

Haha, honestly people could probably use more radiation, i.e. sustained daily sunshine, to live healthier.

The sun beams down 1 KILOwatt of light (50% infrared, 40% visible, 10% other) to every square meter on the ground. Most of the infrared and much of the visible light is absorbed by your skin. Your WiFi router on the other hand has a power of 50-150 MILLIwatts, and won't let you set it higher because that's illegal. And your phone etc. run at around 15 milliwatts.

I guess if you built a ridiculously high powered WiFi antenna (which would be illegal) and stood next to it for a while, you would cook yourself. But BT/WiFi ain't gonna do shit to you.

Standing outside in the sun all day everyday is absolutely deadly.

That's somewhat beside the point though, isn't it? Wifi and Bluetooth are not giving off anywhere near that much radiation.

If that were the case, there would be no African tribes left alive.

Clothing, night-time, and shade all make their exposure far less than 24/7.

Also higher melanin skin blocks?/absorbs? radiation.

Well, things that are deadly don't necessarily kill everyone.

By that rationale, walking is deadly. Breathing is deadly. Sleeping is deadly. This is not a valid argument supporting the stance that wifi is deadly.

Sorry, I didn't mean to argue that wifi is deadly (because power is so much lower), I'm merely agreeing with the parent that the sun is deadly. I think the links to cancer are strong enough to warrant the term.
